What do you love most about Lake Bled?
"The nature here is so pristine. It is a beautiful place from the surrounding mountains, the forests & of course the stunning lake with its emerald-coloured water. "
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
@travellustlarry's Top Tips
"For the best view, hike up to the viewpoint of Mala Osojnica. It’s 30 minutes up but you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of Lake Bled and the Julian Alps."
Favourite time of year to visit Lake Bled
"Anytime! Go in autumn and you will see the beautiful colours of the forest, or go in winter, you may get snow and witness a fairytale wonderland!"
Don’t miss...
"Bled Castle, which towers over the lake on a limestone pinnacle, make sure you visit! Take a gondola out to the island and climb the 99 steps to the beautiful Church of the Mother of God on the lake."

A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
What do you love most about Bukit Lawang?
"This is an easy one to answer. Of course it's seeing orangutans in the wild, it is such a magical experience."
@matthewlockphotography's Top Tips
"Do your research and find a reliable company before booking. This makes sure some of your money will go to the conservation of the Gunung Leuser National Park."
Favourite time of year to visit Bukit Lawang
"While you can visit year-round, the best time depends on you. The dry season is May to October and the wet season is November to April. Keep in mind that during the wet season, it pours down."
Benefits of a tour guide for Bukit Lawang
"You can't enter the park without a tour guide so you have to book a tour. Keep in mind that under no circumstances should you feed any animals during your visit."

Cambodia
Content Creator: torresani_filippo
Favourite thing to do in Cambodia?
"Kayaking the Green Cathedral in Kampot, it's definitely one of my favourite towns in Cambodia."
What impressed you the most in Cambodia?
"The islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem… Who knew Cambodia has such white beaches? I was so surprised and impressed! "
What do you love most about Cambodia?
"The fact that except for Siem Reap, the rest of Cambodia is not touristy at all and so it’s very authentic and well-preserved. It’s easy to meet and connect with locals."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Something unique to do in Cambodia?
"Visit one of the floating villages on Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia. I highly recommend you choose Kompong Khleang."

What do you love most about Machu Picchu?
"Explore one of the best sights in all of South America – Machu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the modern world."
How did I get there?
"I took the train from Wanchaq (Cusco) to Aguas Caliente. I enjoyed the natural scenery as I journeyed through the lush valleys and past rugged peaks, following the course of the Urubamba River."
Benefits of a tour guide for Machu Picchu
"A lot of solo travellers just like me who showed up at the entrance without a guide. Don’t be shy and make friends and hire a guide together. Guided tour lasted about 3hrs depending which circuit. "
What do you love most about Machu Picchu?
"The fascinating history, extraordinary architectural works of Incas and spectacular scenery. Machu Picchu on a clear day is breathtaking."

Hobbiton in Guatemala? Sure! Why not...
"Being a massive LOTR fan, I was in my element. If you are in Antigua, definitely check out this spot! The views are unbelievable and you get to geek out for a few hours."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
What do you love most about Hobbitenango?
"Apart from the obvious LOTR spots and activities, the views are quite simply stunning. If you get lucky like we did, you can see Acetenango and an erupting Fuego."
@callander_shaun's Top Tips
"It can get quite busy so it is best to go in the morning. If it's not already included in your tour, you can book directly through Hobbitenango's office in Antigua, as we did, or make your own way there by Uber/taxi."
Is Hobbitenango worth visiting?
"It definitely is! It's a short 30-minute drive and you can choose a time slot to come back. There are a lot of fun activities and a beautiful area to explore. Your Guatemalan Shire experience awaits..."
